Affiliate Marketing Programmes
Affiliate marketing programs are where a company offers to pay you a set amount for either a click through from your website, or a set amount for visitors signing up, or even a percentage of a purchase made by visitors as a result of being referred from your website.  Even if visitors don’t make a purchase immediately, almost all programs offer cookie duration, normally consisting of 30 – 90 days.  What this means, is that as long as the visitors have the cookie in their cache, you’ll still receive a profit from the sale, each program will have its own cookie time which can range from 7 – 30 days.
